QUEEN ELIZABETH STEALS SHOW AT G-7 RECEPTION WITH WITTY ONE-LINER TO WORLD LEADERS
Making one of her few public appearances since the death of her beloved husband Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II proved she hasn't lost her humor while rubbing shoulders with world leaders at a G-7 reception on Friday.
The three-day summit began on Friday and ran through Sunday in the United Kingdom. Friday's reception at the Eden Project, a botanical garden home to the world's largest indoor rainforest, was hosted by the 95-year-old reigning monarch.
The queen broke the ice during a photo-op alongside political figures including Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Sitting center stage as cameras flashed, Queen Elizabeth II quipped, "Are you supposed to be looking as if you're enjoying it?" provoking laughter from the politicians.

"Yes," Johnson responded. "We have been enjoying ourselves in spite of appearances."
This is not Biden's first time meeting the queen. When he was a senator, Biden traveled to the U.K. in November 1982 for a meeting of the British-American Parliamentary Group and participated in an audience with Queen Elizabeth II.
